I've been playing Brotherhood lately, but I'm focusing more on the online multiplayer. Once I get sick of the multiplayer, I'll begin the storyline. I hear it's nothing short of amazing if not for the consistent plight of playing as Ezio (again). Still, it'll keep me occupied till the next game comes out. While I'm here though, is anybody playing the multiplayer on the PSN? My tag is Excifer, if anybody wants to play some matches.
I got the 360 version, so I can't play multiplayer with you. I have a PS3, I just like AC on the 360. The graphics are better on the 360 for this one series (well, at least with AC2).
I'm just glad they're finally getting single-player DLC for this game. And good DLC too. the DLC for 2 was kind of horrible.
No worries. It's perfectly understandable. The main reason I picked up the PS3, is because I don't have a 360. But it's also because of the Copernicus Conspiracy DLC that came with the game. I haven't gotten to yet, but it sounds good. I agree that the DLC for AC2 was pretty bad. It seemed "tacked" on.
That's because it was. Basically, to have the game come out on time, they cut out sequences 13 and 14 and released them as DLC post-release. With Brotherhood, they appear to be doing DLC correctly. I just hope they keep the single player DLC coming.

Some interesting information I've come across. Yves Guillemot, the CEO of Ubisoft, pretty much
just confirmed that a new AC game is coming this year. According to an entry in the
Assassin's Creed Wiki (I realize that's hardly concrete evidence, but it's better than nothing for me), more information surrounding the new game this year will be announced in May. I'm happy to see it may be announced before E3, but only by a month. They may as well just move it to E3 at this point... Now that I'd complain about an earlier reveal.
Out of curiosity, does anyone believe that AC will end with AC3? They've stated that it's a trilogy (barring any side games and "expansions" like Brotherhood), one that would end next year. Whether or not the game scheduled for 2011 is AC3 I don't know, but regardless of that, does anyone believe Ubisoft is going to get out while they are ahead? I'm torn on this myself; I want the series to end well, but at the same time, I kind of want it to continue beyond 3. And not in side games; I'll take an NGP AC title, but that's as low as I'll go. I guess it depends on a lot of factors. I have a feeling this "trilogy" is only desmond's story, and that we may yet see more AC games, just with a different character in some time period, be it 2012 or sometime before/after. I mean, AC is a big franchise for Ubisoft. I'd imagine they'd want to continue it somehow... In any case, we haven't reached the end yet, and we've got some great news coming this way, if the internet is to be believed.
Also, has anyone tried out Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy on facebook? I recently (about five hours ago) got addicted to it... I didn't think I would. It does give some interesting background on the series, and apparently a new mission pack is coming soon. The thing that really intrigues me about Project Legacy is that it doesn't use The Animus; the test subjects are in something called the DDS, which, from what I can ascertain, allows one to relive the memories of someone else's genetic ancestor; it's like the Animus, but not quite the same. it's an intriguing concept that I have to wonder if Ubisoft will employ in any of the games.
EDIT: I just did some further research, and it turns out that Ubisoft is planning some big DLC for Brotherhood. Apparently, Brotherhood was going to be DLC originally, but they decided to make it it's own game. Now, that may be the case with the game coming out this year. Either that, or it's just going to be a giant DLC pack. Or it could be AC3. Either way, this is all from research I've done on the official forums; I obviously can't confirm any of it.
